Alabama County Passes Obama Day

Don’t they usually wait until they are dead? the Presidents’ in question I mean.. before devoting a holiday to them.

Perry County in the state of Alabama, which overwhelmingly supported Obama in last month’s presidential election, has approved the second Monday in November as “The Barack Obama Day.” Commissioners passed a measure that would close county offices for the new annual holiday and its roughly 40 workers will get a paid day off.

A little much? I am all for celebrating the historical win for Obama (as I am probably one of his biggest supporters), but this a little weird.
